ELISE (220707)

 ELISE (#220707)

I am a woman with spiritual leanings.  I create beautiful women with layers of meaning.  The figures are not only beautiful in body, but I also hope to convey a depth of spirit.  I want to show my idealistic dreams of feminine existence, of being an excellent female earthling.  

The background pattern, with a network of energetic lines forming circles, relates to the interconnectedness of everything in the universe.  The figure is impressionistic style, the head dress is rather art deco, and the egrets are realistic.  I like a mixture of styles.

This image was created in photoshop, a program that I have been using since the late 90's.  The art is available as a fine art print on Saatchi Art.  If you would like to commission a giclee, or an NFT, or an acrylic painting then message me.  lunazure101@gmail.com

The colors are rich and harmonious.  It will make a dramatic accent piece in your home.  I think that it will give you inspiration and pleasure for many years.

I dont know for sure if praying works or not, I think that it does effect events, but I am not sure. I do know that when things get really bad, praying makes me feel a bit better.

A soft, sad, but hopeful woman with a peace dove over her third eye.  Enough said.  I dont want to start ranting about the stupidity of Earthlings continually killing each other.

HIBISCUS MOON

file#220401

digital image for archival prints

perhaps a study for an acrylic painting

 Two digital paintings here.  The moon picture is very serene and the skull picture is exciting.  Sympathetic vs parasympathetic nervous and hormone systems, for any anatomy and physiology nerds out there. 

I want to go on a moon light sail on gently waving waters.  Lull me off to dream land.  Escape the bull shit storms coming from our media fear tubes.  

But, reality beacons, the skull reminds us that life is short.  

The painterly style of the skull is a newish style of painting for me.  I follow my muse.  That bitch, she says, "You like sinuous lines, like art nouveau, paint gently curving lines."  Then she gets bored and wants something new.  "Paint jaggedly lines, jutting about, exciting energy lines."  OK, that sounds like fun.  Call it Jitterbug style.  So I paint,  mostly doing photoshop, I paint pictures with a variety of brush styles.  A bit of art nouveau, some impressionism, some flat planes, realism, surrealism, what ever, all mixed  together in the same picture.    THEY, you know who they are,  the "experts" who say "find your style and stick to it".  How boring is that?  

OK, that is enough rattling about for me, I will sign off now.  

Have a wonderful day.  I think that I will meditate on this hibiscus moon light sail.  Do some gardening, the weather is sunny. Take a break from distressing reality.

TRIPLE SKULL

 

    TRIPLE SKULL

digital, 2019

TRIPLE SKULL is an unusual creation of three skulls merged together.  I was inspired by the concept, just thinking that I would create something unusual.  I enjoyed combining the skulls in a cohesive image.  

This picture may relate to many historical concepts of the triple attributes of gods and goddesses throughout the ages.  There are many deities that have three faces, indicating the different aspects of the deities.  The Christian God has three aspects, God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.  Shiva, a Hindu God has three faces. Many Goddesses are attributed with three faces indicating the characteristics of the three ages of women; maiden, mother and crone. Three faced Goddesses were worshiped in Anatolia, ancient Greece and ancient Rome.  

The deities are depicted with three faces, but, I haven't seen any other three faced skull pictures.  The concept is intriguing, an inspiring conundrum.

Walk Tall, Two

archival print, collage on panel, digital, 21-9-29

Another image of Walk Tall, with different colors and composition.  

When I make art I am in the zone.  Color fascinates me.  Different combinations of colors contribute to the mood of the piece.  I favor sinuous lines and also use geometrix squares and zig zags. Harlequin patterns. Mandalas. 

Lately, I have done a few portraits of imaginary women.  A variety of styles appear.  I start with a rough in of the features.  Sometimes, that is all I do, the face is cartoonish.  Other times, the face evolves to abstract geometrix.  I think that the most frequent style that i use for faces is painterly realistic.  I keep working until I get an expression that I like.   

While I make decisions and create lines, shapes and color, I am in the zone.  Totally involved in a process that I enjoy.  I follow my muse, she is always showing me something new.  Making art, for over 50 years, has evolved my spirit.  

Art is the way to communicate visually.  You are invited to explore this path with me.

The color glows, intense and harmonious.  The woman is walking through a flower mandala. There is a spiritual aura to her, perhaps she is traversing a portal to another state of consciousness.

Amethyst Dance

  Amethyst Dance

Archival ink jet print,  9/21

Joyful, exhilarated, happy, energetic, beautiful,  Jumping for joy.  Almost flying.  This is how I want to feel.  When I create these  uplifting images I feel happy.  

I really like how the colors came together here.  The saturated blue, purple and green are brilliant without being garish.  The rich colors are jewel like,  like an amethyst. I have been working with this color combo for a while, and they really created rich harmony here.  

Oh! These terrible times.  Damn!  Pandemic, war, hurricane, flooding.  Government, politics, shut the damn TV off.  Just let me focus on making things better in my little corner of the world.  I try to think positive.  Every cloud has a silver lining.  I am Queen of Denial.  

We got a bit of damage from that bitch Ida. Here in Washington Parish, maybe about a hundred miles from the coast.   We have been focusing on cleaning up and repairing damage.  We were out of power for only two days.  Just long enough to make me grateful for clean water coming out of the tap.  Just long enough to appreciate electricity.  A tornado came through and downed some large trees that blocked the trail down to the creek.  A husky neighbor has done a lot of chain sawing, the trail is almost clear.  No damage to the house.  Thank Goddess.

This picture was created in photoshop.  I have been doing photoshop since the late 90's. You can order prints on canvas or paper ($60.00), from Saatchi Art Online.

 I often use photoshop pictures as a guide to create paintings.  I would love for you to commission a painting of this picture.  Or any other pxs you see on this blog.  Just G-mail me and tell me what you want.  I could probably make the picture in a month or six weeks, depending on the size that you want. 

Thank Goddess for the activity of creating art.  Getting into the art creativity zone helps my mind to feel that I am making the world more beautiful.  The art zone is were I want to be.  When you look at this picture, I hope that you feel a bit happier.

"Feminine"

 Feminine

Digital painting, archival print, 6/2021

I have been creating similar feminine images to this since the 90's.  This one is a bit suggestive.  I worked and played with in photoshop until this image showed up.  I like it.  Hope that you like it.
